The New Testament: The Epistle to the Hebrews: Chapter 2
|
|
{14}
Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
|
{15}
and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
|
{16}
For verily not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham.
|
{17}
Wherefore it behooved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
|
{18}
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.

The New Testament: The Epistle to the Hebrews: Chapter 3
|
|
{1}
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus;
|
{2}
who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.
|
{3}
For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house.
|
{4}
For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.
|
{5}
And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;
|
{6}
but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end.
|
{7}
Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,
|
{8}
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
|
{9}
Where your fathers tried [me] by proving [me,] And saw my works forty years.
|
{10}
Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;
|
{11}
As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
|
{12}
Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:
|
{13}
but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:
|
{14}
for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:
|
{15}
while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
|
{16}
For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?
